The images of September 11th are still disturbing to many Americans. It has been a decade since the attacks on the Twin Towers were carried out. The US used the tragic event to declare the war on terror, but what about the countries that are at the forefront of the war? We go to Afghanistan to see what Afghani's feel about 9/11.

Not only have a lot of them never heard of 9/11, they've never heard of Osama Bin Laden. They were just living their lives and trying to get by day to day and next thing you know there's a war going on.

1. This is probably pretty representative of the last few centuries in

Afghanistan

They were just living their lives and trying to get by day to day and next thing you know there's a war going on.

2. Why should they?

Only self-centered American myopathy would think otherwise.

4. what a quote! "You give our kids guns to go fight, & you give US kids pencils & paper to learn with"

Sums it all up.:(

5. Think of it from their perspective

Do you know about this building that was bombed? See the fire and smoke says the guy with all the power and holding the gun. What do you think they are going to say? Show any knowledge of the event and you get harassed or even worse. Of course most don't know anything about it...

6. No different here

It's like asking Boomhauer and Dale Grible if they ever heard of Salvador Allende? You know, 9/11? The coup? Pinochet?

7. wow..

But I thought most of the "terrorists" who hijacked the planes, were from Saudi Arabia. Maybe someone show the people from Saudi Arabia, the photos and ask them?
